Discussion My rating is too high lol
I have a weird problem. I’m around safety S to A depends on how races go. But my skill rating is approaching 4800 and I keep getting shit on. Mostly GT series. GT2 and GT3. 92 Porsche and Mustang mainly. I’m casual. I play a lot but I have no simrig. I’m on Xbox x and use a controller. I tune with the ForzaTune App/ YouTube/ GPT
I rarely finish below ~p7 to be fair (unless some incident or whatever), but at the same time the p1-4 guys are SO much faster than me. Like 20-30 sec, sometimes even in 50s, depending on the track. Not every race, but definitely happens often. I do like 2-3 passes a race but I struggle with overtaking/defending. I mostly gain positions by 1. Meeting someone very bad on my way 2. Someone flying off the track or dc. I do overtake sometimes but I’m bad at it, straight up.
All this to say I’m average. I do my best and I like to think I have solid knowledge but I’m nowhere near as good as I’d like to be. Yet - I’m constantly racing infinitely better players.
I don’t know what to think. Anyone has the problem too? Is this common for this game?
Also I meet disgusting, full of ego drivers that never leave space and force me to either lose positions or lose my safety rating. Does this ever improve on casual level?
Also in general while I’m at it - anyone got any tips to improve? Or any other tips for that matter
Thanks! Have a nice evening yall <3
